Songtext von Mendocino

I bid farewell to the state of new york, my home away from home In the state of new york i came of age when first i started roaming And the trees grow high in new york state, they shine like gold in the autumn Never had the blues from whence i came, but in new york state, i got them Talk to me of mendicino Closing my eyes i hear the sea Must i wait? must i follow? Won't you say, "come with me"? And it's on to south and indiana, flat out on the western plain Rise above the rockies and into california, out to where the rocks remain And let the sun set on the ocean, i will watch it from the shore Let the sun set over the redwoods, i'll rise with it 'til i rise no more
